New Taxa of Osminiini (Insecta : Lepidoptera : Sesiidae) from China, with Establishment of a New Subgenus from the Western Palaearctic

Abstract

A new genus, Sazonia gen. nov. (type species : Sazonia gorodinskii sp. nov.), including two new subgenera, Sazonia subgen. nov. and Miniosa subgen, nov. (type species : Sesia fenusaeformis Herrich-Schaffer, 1852), and a new species, Sazonia (Sazonia) gorodinskii sp. nov. are described and figured from extra-tropical Asia. Probable trends of the origin of all these taxa are discussed.
